Hey, Obama — When’s My Healthcare Cost Going Down By $2,500?

Hillary Clinton condescendingly called half of Trump supporters “deplorables” and looked at them with contempt. Trump then proposed allowing working families to deduct the cost of childcare, one of the biggest entitlements proposed in years. One would think that after seemingly four years of primaries, the Dems and the GOP would, by now, have at least nominated someone from their own parties.

Hillary’s carefully controlled, personal doctors press release said in measured terms that she is OK and should be well enough in a week to return to lying to the American people, deleting emails, and smashing her cell phones like Gallagher at his Branson, Missouri show.

Then Trump goes on the Dr. Oz Show, the Mayo Clinic of daytime TV, to reveal his healthiness.  To date Trump had released a onepage letter from his doctor, who looks like he got his medical degree at a Grateful Dead concert, saying Trump is the most magnificent physical specimen since Fabio. The letter went on to say that he could wrestle a bear and should be drafted by the New York Jets in the second round next year.

I’m not sure when it happened, but now politicians just lie to us without consequences. Obama sold Obamacare on lies: “If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare. Period. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  Period.” Then he said Obamacare would “reduce the average family’s healthcare costs $2,500 a year.” All premeditated lies.

Hillary and Obama lied and said the Benghazi attacks were because of a You Tube video. They even had they filmmaker arrested. Scary.

The IRS targets Obama’s political opponents and then its officials take the Fifth; they do not answer subpoenas and smirk at justice.

After Hillary lied about her emails, members of her State Department tech crew took the Fifth; one didn’t even show up after being subpoenaed by Congress. Hillary lied, too.

This “birther” thing Hillary is blaming Trump for?  It turns out that, in the 2008 presidential race, the Clinton camp (a camp I’d advise not sending your kids to) started the rumor.

Hillary learned from her experience serving on the Watergate committee (from which she was fired) what to do with damaging evidence. If Nixon had destroyed the tapes, he would have gone down in history as a great president. Nixon’s men engaged in political shenanigans that would be child’s play today.  No one died, unlike Benghazi. No national secrets were compromised by using a personal server to send classified documents. What Nixon did would be called “opposition research” today. Nixon’s famous line was, “I am not a crook.” By Hillary Clinton‘s standards, he was not.

Maybe they get away with such lies and indignities today because the press no longer investigates Democrats. The media are advocacy media; they never turn on one of their own. The mainstream media treated Trump well, urging him on and promoting him in the GOP primary against the other sixteen candidates because they thought he’d be easier for Hillary to defeat. Now they run negative story after insulting story about him since there is a chance he could win.

With the death of fair journalism, politicians can now do what they like without consequences. Since they have lost all journalistic respectability, the new leftist media game is socalled “fact checking.” They dubiously check facts that fit their narrative.

Hillary’s longtime staff, either paid for with your tax dollars at the State Department or by the Clinton Crime Family Foundation (or both simultaneously), protect her. Hillary surrounds herself with sharpelbowed Democrat thugs who look like they could be in a women’s prison gang. They yell “Chauvinism!” when allegations are brought, but never address the facts. Everybody wants to work for Hillary except her lungs.

They spin everything to fit their narrative. They want to tax us on carbons, so they blame every rainstorm, heat wave and fire on global warming. The fires in California probably could be more accurately blamed on Hillary fundraising there, with blazes sparked by her pants being on fire.

You never know what to believe from politicians today. Obama finds race issues in everything. You cannot sort laundry without Obama calling you a racist. But now his liberal minions at Cal State University (LA) are going to provide separate dorm rooms for black students. Obama came into office saying he was Martin Luther King. It seems he will go out as Jesse Helms.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
